live from Tänak: ,,I'm happy we didn't use the soft tyre, so we have some good tyres now..''Quote:

This was incredible, the 95km road section back to service completely closed to the public and lined with spectators the WHOLE way!! Welcome to Kenya Flag of Kenya OK hand @wrcsafarirally

I was cynical about this event, but I was completely wrong to be - seeing some of the clips from road sections and the excitement on the road is superb, a lot of what the sport's been missing - it doesn't matter a jolt that it's not the old-style Safari - Neuville's quote on shakedown was spot on
In case you dont know and hear it mentioned a lot already...

Hi everyone, let's go on Safari!
I have a hunch that Ogier and Evans will lose a lot starting from the front. Not because of loose surface but it will be very hard to find perfect harmony between speed and reliability. Will be much easier with every passing cars because of lines created.
I agree. Listening to the Service Park interviews, the drivers are all saying that they are heading into unknown conditions. Eg. Dani mentioned about the 'kickers' - those small, sharp bumps we saw at shakedown. He said they have lots of extra notes, but really don't know whether they can maintain high speed over them without suffering a 'kick' or not.Quote:

Good morning guys!!
Tyre news
All drivers except from Thierry Neuville have taken 2x hard compound tyres and 4x soft compound tyres for the morning loop.
Neuville has opted to carry less weight, with 1x hard compound and 4x soft compound.
1:05 is where that big rock in the road is in the slow chicane
why risk with only 1 spare.. 65km of new unknown stages on bumpy field/forest roads..Quote:

Very sandy
In theory, this is rally for M-Sport drivers - car performance probably do not play that big role this time.
Tänak looked very fast there
Neuville tyre strategy paying off in speed so far.
Hyundais once again looking supremely fast on the rough... but can the cars make it to the end of SS18...?
windscreen washer nozzle leaking on Ott's car
How many stalls has Katsuta had in the last few rallies? Needs to sort that out
,,million dollar cars'' and a freakin' windscreen washer is leaking and ruining stage time..
Gus really slow..
Morning guys. Exciting days ahead...
Except when it's Greensmith...Quote:

anti wildlife device :D
better start off a bit slower and see what's going on rather than try to push and lose some seconds less or crash. they wouldn't fight with top5 anyway..
Why is Greensmith so slow, even compared to Taka who had a long stall...?
It's to scare off zebras, who are slower to flee than most other animals in the region.Quote:
